A Child OF Destiny.

The single romantic incident con-
nected with the recent terrible steam,
boat conflagration Is related In our
Bayou Sara special telegram. A baby
boy, 50 young that the could not tell
his name and only able to identify
himself as s'mama's boy" was found
which he was clinglng, II mile below
the scene of the disF ster, and was res
cued by negro woman. Such an
esrape was almost miraculous. It
parallels that of Romulus and Remus,
who, as tradition has 1t, were dragged
from the floods of the Tiber and nour-
Ised by she wolf to become the foun-
ders OF Rome, the Eternal City. This
was prodigy ascribed TO the inter-
position Of the immortal gods. 1t more
than equals the story of Moses borne
on the floods of the Nile in his basket
of rushes, and saved by the daughter
of king to be prophet of God and
the worlds grande3t lawmaker. Who
can forecast the destiny Of this name-
less, parentlcss, homeless babe, drawn
by sable daughter of Africa from a
river mightier than all the rivers of
the Old World, on whose vast bosom,
in midwinter and ut midnight, he had
been borne away from the hell of fire
and death which had swallowed up all
that had connected him with that
which is most dear to rnsD, most e'sen-
tial to an infant like him. If there IL
anything in auguries and precedents,
destiny most strange and most NOM
entous and ii may be most grand and
heroic Is in store for this little Waif SO
miraculously saved. Who will adopt
him? Never had child more need Of
and mothers tenderness, be she the
daughter of king of the dam Of a
Wells cub, but nevertheless mother.

Superior TO COssacks.

Gen. Miles says that we have In this
country material for the finest light
cavalry In the world. In the event of
a war we could recruit upon tho plains
$4,000 cowboys who would make, with
very little drill, matchIess cavalrymen.
They would be far superior 10 the
Cossacks Of the Russian Service. They
have all the endurance, equestrian
skill and daring Of the Cossacks, with
greatly superior intelligence and
higher courage. Those men are train
ed to outdoor lie and to endure every
form OF hardship. They are already
veterans. They have wonderful
knowledge OF outdoor craft, and the
mojority Of them have the Indians
knowledge Of trailing. With Buffalo
Bill and Col. Ochiitree in command
we could whip Mexico In two weeks.

markable popularity has a special sig
nificance for boys.
"Ho was the most truthful aud the
most f. iendty mau In the SERVICE" says
another officer.
"He was so direct and downright
that his word has tho force OF an
oath," says another.
When he was midshipman of six.
teen, a storm occurred during his
watch, In which a mast was swept
away. The Captain came on board In
a fury.
"Why did you not send up man to
reef the sail ?" he demanded of the
boy.

had gone TO reef It," was the reply,
"and / will not send one of the crew
where dare not go myself. A mast is
not worth 80 much al mans llfe."
The Captain replied by volley Of
oaths. The next day, however, he
came TO the little midshipman,, In tho
presence Of the crew, and said: "You
were right and was wrong. A mans
life Is worth more than mast"
Throughout his life he had as tender
care for the meanest OF his men as
though he had been his brother.

The Picayune has time and again

The True Condition OF Aifairs.
IShreyeport Tin,es.l

shreveport Times.l
The Times sympathizes very fully
with the suggestion of the Ouachita
Telegraph that the chief representa-
ttves Of the antagonistic elements oi
Democracy in this State should not he
the opposing candidates for the guber.
Material nomination year hence. We
are convinced that nothing will dc
more injury to the cause of true DEM
ocracy In Louisiana than second
facttonai fight upon essentially the
same lines as the first. To prevent q
repetition of the personal campaign OF
1884, 1t Is necessary that the conspic-
uous iesders OF that year now disappear
aud give way to men not so prom.
inentiy Identified with past factional
fights.
We believe that the sentiments we
uow express are shared by very near
Immediately connected with the State
government by official position or
otherwise, and those who represent the
Federal oflcs holding element In the
State. If we except these two bands
of political forces, is IS safe to say that
the Democracy OF Louisiana is opposed
to internecine strife, aud viii so declare
when an opportunity presents Itself.
The great mass Of Democratic voters
believe that the present State governs
ment is not satisfactory; that 1t Is ex-
elusive and proscriptive; that II is
narrow in its policy, and Is conducted
largely on personal lines.
They are equally convinced that the
bitter opposition to the present State
government. nnrsed from 1884 to the
present date, will bring, were 1t placed
in power, n policy fully as proscriptive.
1t would doubtless result in further
embitiering the present hostile spirit,
and would assuredly do no good to the
true Democracy Of Louisiana. This,
we say, Is the attitude that the great
on-oilice-holding, non,ofiice.wanting
party element bears to the present
state of political affairs. They know
that with the whites divided the op-
of the negro Is at hand, and
that the era of corrupt government
will have come again. There can be
nothing worse pictured by any pen
than the condition Of our people when
the negro holds the balance OF power
through division ofthe whites. The

whites will determine results-the
longest financial pole will knock down
the persimmous. To avoid such an
outcome, the true Democrat will Insist
upon an obllteration of factional lines
by the withdrawal from leadership of
those who have led factional fights in
the past.
Our Monroe contemporary suggests
a name that, In Its opinion, typifes
the sentiment and feeling we have just
described. With this the Times has
to do; any man suits US that
our ideas. He may come
from East Carroll, from Caddo, from
Orleans, from Calcasieu, from any
parish in the Slate; we are convinced
that the Democracy OF Louisiana ia

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-The six
days gO-aS-yOu-pleaSe race was finished
at $50 this evening. No effort was
made to beat the record, which could
easily have been done by LittlewOOd,
who finished, apparently as fresh as
when he started in the race. Albert
Panchot and Noremac also finished in
good condition. The, leaders did very
little work during the evening, being
on and off the track at intervals. The
interest at the finish was centered in old
man Elson'S attempt to make 500 miles
so as to get slice of the gate money.
Albert, PanchOt and NOremac took
turns in helping him around, and at $3.50
he reached the coveted goal and stag
gered into his tent amid wild hurrahS
from the thousands in the rink. The
money is to be divided as follows: After
the expenses are paid the managers
take half and the other half is divided
among the walkers. The first man
takes IS per cent, the second 25, the
third Is, the fourth 10 and the fifth
per cent. The amount to be divided
among the walkers is estimated at 500
OO0. In addition to this the winner of
the race, LittlewOOd. gets the 81, 800 en-
trance money paid in by the starters in
the race. Score at the finish: Little
wood $50 miles, Albert $50, Panchot 511,
NOremac 501, ElsoD 500.

ARENSDORF'S TRIAL.
A Summary of the Testimony In
trOduced For the Defense Yes

Special to the Globe.
Sioux CITY, To-, Nov. 26.-The at
tendance at the Arensdorf trial to-day
has not been large, bad weather and alb
sence of any startling developments be-
ing the cause. Harry Sherman and
Paul Leader, two of the indicted con-
spiratOrs. testified. Sherman Swore
that he was not present at the scene of
the murder. but that he stood in front
Cf saloon three blocks east. and that
Arensdorf was with him. Leader, who
is the proprietor of a hotel, told a very
remarkable story, the same in substance
rs he told at the former trial. He said
that he left his hotel about o'clock,
and, going up town, met
man named Hart, who has
also testified; that they visited
several saloons, finally stopping at
Junks', where they found crowd of
saloon keepers. none of whom they re-
cOgniZed, with the exception of Leavitt.
After having been in the saloon few
minutes party came to the door and
announced that carriage had come,
when the crowd made rush for the
door and went in the direction of water
street. Leader and Hart followed, out
of curiosity. being about thirty feet be-

with the crowd, but turned corner and
passed on. As they passed the crowd
Leavitt, who was a comparative Stran-
ger to witness, traded hats with him,
and he made no objection, and when
witness and Hart were about eighty
feet from the corner shot was fired,
and, turning their heads, they
saw Haddock fall, while the
man who shot him ran
north on Water street. Witness thought
it was Leavitt, but would not swear
positively. He was certain that it was
not Arensdorf, who was not in the
crowd. Witness and Hart went directly
to the hotel, and told no one of the oc-
euFfence until after the arrests had
been made. Julius Leiberton, men,
Der of the fire company, stood in the
window of the engine house and saw
man follow HaddOck from the Columbia
house corner and shoot him. Other
witnesses were introduced to show the
bad character of the JoSephsons and
the good name that ArensdOrf has al
ways borne. 1t is thought that the de-
fense will conclude the direct testimony
Monday, and then the state will begin
in rebuttal. 1t is hoped to get the case
to the Jury next week.

EX-SENATOR JONES.
Talk of Putting Him in an Asylum
--MeaSureS Taken by Friends

DETROIT, Nov. 26.-In addition to
publishing card repudiating the ap-
peal for charity on his own behalf, eX-
Senator Jones, of Florida. last night met
the editor of the paper which published
the appeal and hau very stormy inter
view with him. He said he would make
it hot for his enemies when he got ready
TO act, and that he had long list of
public men, headed by Mr.. Blaine, who
were to be the object of his vengeance.
1t is stated in an evening paper that
the Washington friends of ex-senator
Jones have decided to adopt energetic
measures in his behalf; that fund has
been pledged by leading Democrats of
the country centering in Washington to
care for the ex-senator the remainder of
his life-either IN the home OF his choice
or in the asylum at Pontiac or one at
Washington. 1t is also stated that on
Monday warrant will be issued by the
probate judge, sworn out by the
senator's son, and backed by
the affidavitS of three leading
physicians citing Jones to appear be-
fore the court. If he acQuieSceS in an
examination Severer measures will be
avoided, but if he persists in his stub
bOrnneSs he will be committed to the
asylum. John Jones. the ex-senator's
elder son, cannot be found tonight to
verify or deny the above. The younger
son refuses to talk. No application for
a warrant has yet been made by any
one. and by whose authority the state
mentS are made is unknown.

who had caused his arrest and lmpr1s-
onment.. and acted in a manner which
clearly indicated that he was a tit sub
iect for an asylum. As he was locked
securely in a cell, the officers at flrst
paid but little attention to him, but the
mans rawlings continuing, and growing
in noise and violence, it was thought
best to adopt measures to restrain him.
When the officers went to the cell door
a horrible sight met their gaze. The
man. in his mad delirium. was attempt
ing to devour himself. He was biting
vigorously and viciously athis arms and
hands, and with every snap of his sharp
teeth tearing away the flesh from these
members in strips, leaving them raw
and bloody. None of those present de-
sired to come within reach OF the
maniac. Ropes were obtained, and with
considerable difficulty the fellow. was
lassoed and then securely bound and
placed in position to be unable to in
fiict further injury upon himself. Fuchs
continued violent even after he was
bound, and it was necessary! for the
physicians to place him under the lnfiu-
ence of opiates before they could quiet
him sufficiently to give his wounds the
necessary attention.

SLUGGERS AT DULUTH.
They Do a Good Deal of Talking
About Their Capabilities.
Special to the Globe.


Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. 26.-Pat Killen
and Frank Cook left this noon for Min
neapolis. Killen stated that he eX-
pected to match his brother, Dennis
Killen, with John H. Glow. w. A. Good
ing, CLOVIS manager, is endeavoring to
arrange a match between Paddy Me-
Donald and COnley, of Ashland. Nc
Donald would like to get few rounds
at Cook. Paddy Mcdonald has posted
at the Journal office the following chal-
lenge:
Il will fight Mike Conley, of Ashland,
ten rounds, Marquis of Queensbury
rules, for 500 and 80 per cent of the
gate receipts at any time convenient to
him, the contest to take place in either
Duluth or Ashland, as he may select"
Paddy said in reference to the mat
ter: Il have repeatedly tried to
get on match with Conley
but the latter has put me off from time
to time by saying he would meet me
when he got through with Glow or Kill
len. AS it is well known Glow cannot
make any match at present on account
of his injured hands, and there is no
prospect of a match with Killen, it
certainly looks as though Conley was
not anxious to meet me-" 1t is well
known Mcdonald is fighter from the
word go, and it is more than likely Con-
ley would get all he wanted without
looking for higher game. Both men
being well known here there is no
doubt but what match between them
would create a good deal of interest.
